Administration continues to defy Senate subpoena for Fort Hood documents
Washington Post ^ | April 28, 2010 | Craig Whitlock

The Obama administration said Tuesday that it will provide more information to Congress about the Fort Hood shootings but continued to defy a subpoena request for witness statements and other documents.

After days of negotiations, the Defense and Justice departments informed a Senate committee that they will not comply with congressional subpoenas to share investigative records related to the Nov. 5 shootings at Fort Hood, Tex., which killed 13 people. The agencies said divulging the material could jeopardize their prosecution of Army Maj. Nidal M. Hasan, the alleged gunman.

Leslie Phillips, a spokeswoman for the Senate committee, said the refusal by the Pentagon and the Justice Department to hand over all the requested material was "an affront to Congress's constitutional obligation to conduct independent oversight of the executive branch."

while the dems are yelling about racial profileing in Arizona how about we examine all the profiling going on around the country...we do it all the time ...to funnel tax dollars to certain high minority areas...we will be doing big time profiling against seniors with this new healthcare bill...to determine who gets what care and for how long...i am sure if we look deeper we will find more...what type of profiling goes on to funnel tax dollars to unions..

“Randy Maddow chief topic is the constitutional right of two men, or two women, to marry and sire as many children as possible.”

Well, you know, that is very important to the security of our country and for the security of our men and women in the military.

They knew about this guy, knew he was a danger, yet were too PC to deal with it until he took the lives of our men in uniform.

... and the orders to lay off him came from the Executive Office.

Hey, this shows Obama has some scruples, after all. He is true to his Brothers.
